Intro 

     F 
I'm Dead 
     Ebm                              F 
The blood is all but draining from my head 
     Ebm                                F 
The nightmare started there but now has spread 
    Ebm               Gb 
My pulse is certainly dropping 
       Db              Gb      F 
And my life is hanging on by a thread (I'm scared) 
Ebm                           F 
Someone comes for me I'm unprepared 
     Ebm             Eb 
The wait has got me sweating 
          Dbm                 Db 
You can't cut through all the tension 

F 
It's hell on Earth, you know 
     Bbm 
I'm tweetin' all about it 
  F 
I take it blow by blow 
        Bbm 
But I'd never scream or shout it 

Passing period is over, everyone find your seats 

Refrão 

      F                Ab

It's not cool

It's a fallacy 
                 Bb 
It's a cruel and unusual brutality

And I can survive it 
    Bb      Db 
For only so long
